I love what you're doing with the technology I may have missed it in an earlier post but what 3D printer are you using? Also what 3D program are you using to create them? Do you print them yourselves or are you sending them to an online printer like shapeways or one of those?

I make the 3d-models with Lightwave Modeler, prepare them for printing with Autodesk Meskmixer and/or NetFabb, print them with my Flashforge Creator Dual 3d-printer.You can find my tutorials at: http://puppet.tioh.de/

...I like all your prints and the way you finish them. Are they comfortable to play with?...

Now they are - some of the puppets were changed several times to make them more comfortable for the puppeteer. They are heavier when pure foam puppets - not much, but you will notice after a 10 minutes scene.

The new puppet head - with 3d-printed eyelids, LED eyes, hand-molded teeth. 4 Bowden cables are used to control the tilt of the head, the lower jaw and the eyelids. This was the fist test of the animatronics.
